Gin fans around the world probably have a poster of Franciscus Sylvius up on their bedroom walls, as he was (according to certain legends) the first clever chap to register a juniper berry distillate called Genievre which eventually became the gin we know today. This is why the Dutch distillery Onder de Boompjes has named their fantastic spirit after him, calling it ‘Sylvius Gin’. It’s inspired by a number of traditional recipes, using 10 fantastically fresh botanicals.
